Honkai: Man(Sludge) From Future

"Contact him directly, and while you're at it, temporarily hand over the governance of Nagazora City to him."

Bishop Otto didn't care at all about what the people of the Far East thought; with just a word from him, someone would obediently go and serve the Emperor of Nagazora.

"This matter has already been entrusted to Principal Theresa, I believe she can handle it well."

Otto glanced at Amber, who had spoken. He suspected that Amber was just waiting to see Theresa make a fool of herself.

"You certainly have a lot of faith in Theresa's ability to mess things up..."

He sighed, then continued, "That future friend of ours is much more interesting than we thought. We might as well keep watching; maybe there will be even more interesting results. Besides, I also want to know just how powerful the Herrscher he created can become."

Theresa was dumbfounded after receiving the task from her grandfather.

She hadn't expected her grandfather to actually support someone declaring themselves emperor.

It's really strange; weird things happen every year, but this year seems to have more than usual.

She had to figure out a way to take over the governance of Nagazora City, but at the moment, she didn't know who to contact.

"How about we fish out Raiden Ryoma? We can discuss it with Anti-Entropy; Raiden Ryoma is one of the local snakes of Nagazora City. We just need to get him out and have him work for us. We can temporarily borrow him from Anti-Entropy."

Himeko proposed an interesting plan; she actually intended to borrow someone from Anti-Entropy to do the work.

She wondered what the Anti-Entropy leader's expression would be if they knew. It felt like Anti-Entropy had become the Emperor of Nagazora's military academy.

"But isn't he in prison right now?"

Theresa didn't know how to get Raiden Ryoma out; she couldn't possibly pay back all the money, could she?

That money had indeed been embezzled by Raiden Ryoma, and its whereabouts were still unknown.

"There are still ways. We need to negotiate with Anti-Entropy. And while we're at it, see what's going on with Cocolia. An Anti-Entropy executive from North America getting caught by a future person in Nagazora City in the Far East... ha..."

Murata Himeko sneered and said, "If you tell me she was just sightseeing in Nagazora City, I wouldn't believe such an absurd idea."

Theresa pondered for a long time, then revealed a look of wisdom.

"Alright, then let's go negotiate with Cocolia! How about this, let's borrow Rita from Grandpa."

"Principal is right!" On the matter of borrowing people, Himeko quickly reached an agreement with Theresa.

The two of them really didn't have many ways to fight against someone like Noldrei.

He was too monstrous. Tesla had already been turned into a Teletubby; who knew what they would be turned into if they actually fought him?

It would be better to just continue to have Rita help with the negotiations.

Theresa figured that facing Noldrei and Rita was like being toyed with, so it would be better to let Rita do the toying.

Let Rita go in her place.

Rita once again stood in front of this small house.

She didn't really want to accept this job, but what could she do? She was just someone who did the dirty work.

Look at someone like Durandal; she was a righteous and heroic figure who charged ahead.

The shady stuff always fell on Rita.

"Kiana! I'm telling you one more time, if you use your tentacles to steal food while I'm cooking, I'll chop them off!"

The faint sound of Raiden Mei's angry roar came from inside. It seemed that these people were living a pretty good life.

Rita rubbed her head; she was getting a headache.

"Oh, isn't that Rita? What brings you here? Cocolia isn't here right now; she went out to prepare for the construction of new facilities in the surrounding area."

Siegfried Kaslana stood on the wall, gradually getting used to his little dragon form.

He was holding some kind of flatbread and eating happily on the wall.

Especially in this form, he felt incredibly comfortable.

How to put it? It was like being in the fountain in a game; being in his little dragon form allowed his body to reduce energy consumption and quickly relieve fatigue.

"Siegfried?"

Rita tilted her head, looking at the little dragon.

She was a little surprised, but that surprise was quickly replaced by disgust.

"Mei, that wasn't me! You know me! When have I ever stolen food? I always take it openly. Anyway, there's enough food, and I can help out. Besides enjoying good food, I don't have much interesting work to do."

"Dad, I told you not to steal food!"

A tentacle flew out of the house, grabbed Siegfried the little dragon, and flew away.

Rita didn't even have time to say a few words.

She was stunned for a moment, hesitating whether she should go inside.

Rita was really worried that those tentacles would suddenly fly onto her.

That's how it usually goes in Far Eastern manga.

"Are you going to keep standing there?"

Rita heard someone greeting her. She followed the voice and found the little girl who had spoken, standing at the corner of the wall.

Bronya was looking at her expressionlessly and asked, "Aren't you going to come in? They always fight like that; you'll get used to it. If you're looking for Cocolia, she went out to talk business with the construction bosses."

"I do have some matters to discuss with the owner of this place."

Rita had been here once and knew that Cocolia wasn't the one in charge. If they wanted to get Raiden Ryoma out, they would have to see what Noldrei wanted.

"......"

As a person, Bronya believed she still had a conscience.

She said with a worried face, "I suggest you don't go looking for him. He's not a good person. I can't leave anymore. Cocolia seems to be planning to bring the friends from the orphanage here too... You'd better not come."

Rita was a little helpless. She smiled and asked, "Weren't you a killer? How do you still have something as luxurious as a conscience?"

Bronya's brow furrowed, making a ??? expression.

"If you're here to mock me, then leave quickly. This isn't a place for Schicksal people, especially Valkyries. You'll get into trouble with the tentacle monsters sooner or later."

"I didn't mean to mock you, little girl. I wanted to ask..."

Rita looked at the strange mushrooms growing on the outer wall of the house and just sighed, not daring to continue.

She felt like she was having a hard time.

"If it weren't for looking for something related to the Sea of Quanta, I wouldn't want to stay here either."

Bronya also sighed; she suddenly envied Dr. Tesla, who was able to leave.

"Sea of Quanta?"

Rita seemed to have heard a familiar name.

"You want to go to the Sea of Quanta, young lady?"

Bronya looked at her in shock, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, how about I help you go to the Sea of Quanta, and you help me with my work?"

Rita quickly found a suitable trading partner.

The maid said truthfully, "When I was working for Schicksal, I once drifted into the Sea of Quanta, looking for something called an 'Ether Anchor.' If you don't believe me, we can talk about it privately sometime."

Bronya's eyes lit up when she heard this.
